This Week in Saint Michael's College Athletics: December 10-16

The Saint Michael's College men's basketball team won its lone
contest last week, a 52-51 overtime affair at Molloy College on
Sunday, when sophomore Corey Crawford II (Dover, Del./The
Phelps School) buried a three-pointer at the buzzer. With
his team trailing 51-49 and 4.9 seconds remaining, Crawford took
the inbounds pass under his own hoop, carried to just beyond the
arc on the left wing and knocked down his winner.

Sophomore James Cambronne (De Bary, Fla./The Winchendon
School) turned in 17 points off the bench, shooting
8-of-17 while adding eight rebounds and two blocks. First-year
Greg Grippo (Edison, N.J./Rutgers Prep) added
eight points and two blocks, sophomore Mike Thompson
(Rosedale, N.Y./Christ The King Regional) notched 10
rebounds, senior Derek Knutty (Rocklin,
Calif./Whitney) had nine, and Crawford notched seven.
Despite playing 45 minutes, Saint Michael's improved upon a scoring
defense that was yielding 57.4 points per contest, good for ninth
in the nation and first in the region.
